Hey Folks, came up with an interesting idea that I realized i haven't seen many people do before (although I dont think there's a ton of 2.5gal brewers out there either).
I got a pretty nice wine cooler off of craigslist for $50, and basically just drilled some holes, and set up a simple kegerator/ wine cooler combo powered with a paintball tank. Pics below. I got the tower off of craigslist as well, so the total cost, including a brand new keg, paintball tank, and paintball regulator was about $250, and it took around 3-4 hours total. Only downside is that the cooler only goes down to 41 degrees, although ive found that's plenty cold enough.
Here's my question. I want to add two strips of LEDs, one on each shelf up in the corners. Ideally I want it to give off a nice blue glow, rather than looking like a bunch of blue spotlights, but I'm not sure how to wire these suckers. I have easy access to a red constant wire on the motherboard, and a soldering iron, but Ive forgotten everything about how to reduce the power down to LED levels. Can someone help with a LED recommendation and wiring example?
